Master of Suspense: Alfred Hitchcock

Abstract: 6 pages. Alfred Hitchcock has long been regarded as the master of suspense. What is it that makes his movies endure for decades, while others seem to slip into obscurity? This paper will delve into the magic and determination behind the man and his art, that of producing psychological thrillers that set the standard for the genre of suspense in movies. It is the suspensefulness that typifies a Hitchcock film, and one knows that this master did not need the obligatory blood and violence of today's films to produce the same emotional tenseness that still carries on today. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
